Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Chelwood Common, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
